The necessary and sufficient conditions for triviality of a Musielak-Orlicz space and its subspace of finite elements (Q2733901)

Let \((T,{\mathcal T},\mu)\) be a measure space and let \(\mathcal X\) be a real topological vector space with a countable base, with the family \(\mathcal B\) of all its Borel subsets. Let \(M: T\times {\mathcal X}\to [0,\infty]\) be \({\mathcal T}\times {\mathcal B}\)-measurable, even in the second variable and such that \(M(t,\alpha x +\beta y)\leq \gamma[M(t,x) + M(t,y)]\) for all \(x,y\in{\mathcal X}\), \(\alpha,\beta\geq 0\) with \(\alpha +\beta= 1\), and all \(t\in T\), where \(\gamma\geq 1\) is a universal constant. The function \(M\) generates the Musielak-Orlicz space \(L_M({\mathcal X})\) and the subspace \(E_M({\mathcal X})\) of its finite elements, of vector-valued functions with values in \(\mathcal X\). There are obtained necessary and sufficient conditions both for \(L_M({\mathcal X})=\{\theta\}\) and \(E_M({\mathcal X}) =\{\theta\}\).
